de Castellane's “Fleurs d’excès”

PARIS - Opening March 2nd Victoire de Castellane will exhibit her new jewelry collection “Fleurs d’excès” (Flowers of Excess) with a show at Gagosian Gallery. Known for her candy-colored creations, the project mines all of the hallucinogenic allusions from her earlier work to create complete pharmacopeia that blurs distinctions between the real and the artificial, the beautiful and the grotesque. Inlaid with rubies, diamonds, jade and more, the intoxicating gold and silver pieces personify the romantic idea of women “under the influence.”

Murakami at Versailles

Sneak Peek

Takashi Murakami is set to show an array of his sculptures at the iconic Chateau de Versailles in Paris. Murakami says, "So it is probable that the Versailles of my imagination corresponds to an exaggeration and a transformation in my mind so that it has become a kind of completely separate and unreal world. That is what I have tried to depict in this exhibition". The show runs from September 14th through December 12th.
